Chapter 55

It was late at night, and the breeze carried the coolness of late autumn.

In the car, Chen Zonghao was driving the car, while Song Shu and Jiahui were sitting in the back. Jiahui was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the seat with Song Shu's coat covering her.

Song Shu was only wearing a dress, and even though she closed the car windows to prevent the wind from blowing in, she still felt a little cool.

Chen Zonghao put one hand on the steering wheel and glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Seeing that she was hugging her arms, she was obviously a little cold. He reached out and took the suit he had taken off and thrown on the passenger seat and passed it to Song Shu in the back seat, "Put it on if you're cold."

Song Shu looked up at the suit jacket being handed to her. The veins on the man's hands holding the jacket bulged with his movements.

This man might have been in a bad mood and couldn't feel the coolness of late autumn. He took off his suit jacket before getting on the car, and was only wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with his sleeves rolled up.

Song Shu was not as afraid of the cold as he was, so she did not refuse and took it. When her fingers touched the coat, she seemed to be able to still feel his body temperature remaining on the coat.

Song Shu paused for a moment, then calmly put on her coat. Immediately, the warmth enveloped her body, dispelling all the coolness.

The suit that fit him perfectly looked too big on her, with the hem piled up on her legs. If she stood up, the hem would probably reach her mid-thigh. The sleeves were also too wide, and Song Shu might have to roll them up a few times to show her hands, but she didn't roll up her sleeves for fear of wrinkling the clothes. After all, she still treasured this suit jacket when she saw a man.

Wearing his suit, Song Shu suddenly felt warm. She pulled down her coat and could smell his scent, a light scent that was not from perfume but more like aftershave.

Chen Zonghao was driving and glanced at the back seat from the rearview mirror. The woman was sitting quietly in the seat, wearing his coat. His wide coat completely covered her body. At this moment, she lowered her head and played with the cufflinks on his suit. Looking at this scene, Chen Zonghao suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

＊

After arriving home, Chen Zonghao got out of the car first and carried Jiahui out from the back seat. Song Shu closed the car door and followed him into the house.

Seeing him put the sleeping Jiahui on the bed, Song Shu wanted to take off her suit jacket and give it back to him.

But she didn't know when her hair got caught on a button of her coat and couldn't get it off for a while. Song Shu could only lower her head and reach out to untangle her hair.

However, after trying for a long time, she was unable to untie the hair that was tangled around the buttons of her suit, and she even accidentally pulled her scalp. Song Shu looked at the hair that could not be untied, and thought about taking a pair of scissors to cut off the hair.

At this time, Chen Zonghao came over and saw her hair was tangled. He lowered his head and asked, "Your hair is tangled?"

Song Shu glanced at him and nodded, "It's entangled and I can't untie it. I'll go find a pair of scissors and cut it off."

"No need." Chen Zonghao stopped her and stretched out his hand, saying, "I'll do it. No need to cut it."

He looked at the tangled tuft of hair. Her hair was long, shiny, black and well-maintained. It would be a pity to cut it. As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the button with one hand, and carefully untied the tangled hair with the other hand.

Song Shu withdrew her hand and looked down at his movements. The man was very close to her, with his head lowered. His breath brushed across the top of her head, causing her breathing frequency to almost become the same as his, causing Song Shu to slow down her breathing unconsciously.

The man's movements were very gentle, and Song Shu could hardly feel the force of her scalp being pulled. Looking at the man's focused and cautious look, someone who didn't know would have thought he was unravelling something delicate.

Song Shu's eyes were fixed on his slender and powerful fingers for a while, and then her attention was distracted by his hot breath above her head.

It took a while before I heard the man's voice above me, "Okay."

When Song Shu came to her senses, she saw that her hair had been completely untied by him, with only a few strands broken.

Song Shu took off her suit and returned it to him. Halfway through, she thought of something and said, "How about I clean it for you and then give it back to you."

Chen Zonghao reached out and took the suit, looked at her and raised his eyebrows, saying jokingly, "No, I don't mind you."

Song Shu was surprised by what he said. His expression was ambiguous. Song Shu coughed and kept a calm expression on her face. "It's up to you. As long as you don't mind."

After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at him quickly, "I'm going to rest, good night."

Chen Zonghao looked at her with his arm around his suit and said in a low voice, "Good night."

＊

In the next few days, Song Shu was busy designing cheongsams for the noble ladies who placed orders with her at Grandma Xu's birthday party. Fortunately, they were all rich and only asked Song Shu to design cheongsams that fit their bodies.

After Song Shu designed the drawings, she assigned the tasks to A Zhibo and others to make them by hand.

After all, the dresses that noble ladies usually wear are almost all handmade, and Song Shu also wants to create a high-end cheongsam brand, so handmade production is very necessary.

After Azhibo and his fellow tailors finished making the ancient costumes, they had some free time. Although they had a basic salary of HK$1,000 per month, they suddenly had nothing to do. On the one hand, they felt it was not good to get paid for nothing, and on the other hand, they were worried about whether they would have any work tasks next.

But they didn't have to worry at all, as they got another task of hand-making cheongsams. Uncle Zhi and his friends were relieved immediately, because it was good to have a job, as old guys like them were afraid of losing their jobs.

Especially Fang Bo. Unlike other children who did not drive their parents out, he did not need much money for his daily life. He did not have to pay for rent, food, oil and salt, and his wife's medical treatment also needed money.

Aunt Fang saw her husband, who had a sad face when he went out in the morning, came back with a happy face, holding a bag of fruit and a pig's trotter in his hands.

Aunt Fang looked at the pile of things that Fang Bo had bought and couldn't help but mutter, "You old man, why did you buy so many things when you went out? Didn't you mutter to yourself in the morning that you should save money?"

Fang Bo was not angry even after being scolded. He still had a smile on his face and said proudly, "Don't worry about the money. Azhi just informed us that Boss Song has another job for us, making cheongsams. Although each piece is not five thousand Hong Kong dollars like the ancient costumes, it is two thousand Hong Kong dollars this time. So, don't worry about the money, old woman. With the money from the ancient costumes last time and the money from the cheongsams this time, we have a savings of about seventy or eighty thousand."

Aunt Fang also laughed after hearing this, "Okay then." She was reluctant when her husband took her to move out. It wasn't that she was reluctant to leave her sons. After what happened, she just regarded the two BBQ sons as dead. She was afraid of being a burden to Uncle Fang and didn't want to move out with him. How much money could an old man earn, and he had to take her, who was sick, with him? It wouldn't take long for the two old people to starve to death if they moved out.

However, Lao Fang secretly told her that he had found a job. When she heard about the salary he could earn every month, Aunt Fang did not believe it at first. She was afraid that he was being cheated. Which boss would be so generous? Not only does he have a basic salary of HK$1,000 per month, but he also gets such a high commission when making clothes. If not a liar, then who is he?

It was not until she saw that Azhi and the others were also working together and that Lao Fang brought back his wages that Aunt Fang believed it. Most of her worries were gone. She told Uncle Fang every day that his female boss was a bodhisattva. She even prayed to the immortal when she went to worship him, asking him to bless this kind-hearted female boss with good health and wealth.

"Although you have money, you don't have to buy so many things. Why buy so many fruits? Fruits are so expensive. It's a waste." Aunt Fang couldn't help but mutter a few words after taking the things from Uncle Fang's hand.

Fang Bo waved his hand and said, "Didn't the doctor tell you to eat more fruits to supplement vitamins? How can it be wasted? You should eat just a few a day and buy more after you finish eating. I can still afford the money for these fruits."

After hearing his words, Aunt Fang felt warm at heart and stopped nagging him. After all, this was the love of her husband. Looking at him at this moment was like seeing the determination he had when he said he wanted to give her a home when he was young.

And since she moved out with him, her mood has improved a lot and she is not sick so often. She used to suffer from some old age diseases, and being in that house and being in a bad mood every day would easily trigger her illness.

Therefore, Aunt Fang was even more grateful to Boss Song, and couldn't help but ask, "How about I make some glutinous rice dumplings for Boss Song?"

Aunt Fang is a great cook, and she is especially good at making rice dumplings, which people can eat three or four at a time.

Fang Bo didn't say anything bad. Seeing that his wife really wanted to thank Boss Song, he didn't stop her. "Okay, why not? The rice dumplings you make are delicious. Besides, if we just send some food to thank Boss Song, she will accept it."

"Okay, I'll make it today, and you can send it to Boss Song later."

"good."

＊

Therefore, the next day Song Shu received a basket of rice dumplings. The dumplings were only as big as a palm, and one person could finish one in four or five bites.

Fang Bo put the basket of rice dumplings in front of the cashier and insisted that Song Shu accept it. "Boss Song, these rice dumplings are made by my wife. There are pork fillings and egg yolk meat fillings. I don't know if you like salty or sweet, so I made some sweet ones. The ones tied with a red ribbon are sweet rice dumplings. My wife's rice dumplings are delicious, so Boss Song, please accept them and try them."

After hearing what he said, Song Shu knew that it was a token of his wife's love, so she did not refuse. However, she looked at the basket full of zongzi and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Isn't this too many zongzi? Aunt Fang is so kind. Can Uncle Fang help me to thank Aunt Fang?"

Fang Bo felt a little embarrassed looking at the basket full of rice dumplings. His wife was really overly enthusiastic and made a big pot. He had to rest several times when he brought it over. "Okay, I will definitely bring Mr. Song's thanks to my wife. She will be very happy to hear that. Mr. Song can give away the uneaten rice dumplings."

After Fang Bo left, Song Shu looked at the basket of rice dumplings. She, Chen Zonghao and Jia Hui certainly couldn't finish them all. It would be a pity if they were left for too long and went bad and couldn't be eaten.

So Song Shu gave several to Rong Xiaohua so that she could take them back and eat with Uncle Rong, and also gave some to Uncle Fu and Sister Liang. Even though they got a lot, there was still more than half left.

＊

When Chen Zonghao came back at noon, Song Shu didn't let him go buy lunch, and took him to eat zongzi. "This is made by Fang Bo's wife, Aunt Fang. I ate two before noon. They are delicious. You can try them too."

Chen Zonghao followed her instructions and sat down at the dining table.

Song Shu took two from the basket, one was an egg yolk and meat zongzi, and the other was a sweet zongzi, and asked, "There are salty and sweet flavors. Which one do you choose?"

Song Shu thought he would choose the salty flavor, after all, it seems that everyone in this area likes to eat salty meat dumplings, but Chen Zonghao took the sweet dumpling from her hand and said, "I choose the sweet one."

Song Shu was a little surprised to see him choose sweet, and said, "I thought you would like salty food."

Chen Zonghao lifted the outer cover of the zongzi and said casually: "My dad told me that my taste may be inherited from my mom. Zongzi likes sweet food."

Song Shu was startled when she heard this, as he mentioned his dead mother so naturally. After all, his mother died in childbirth when he was born, and many people said that he was unlucky because of his mother. The book even wrote that when he was alone, those who wanted to criticize him would pick on him and say that he was born with bad luck and that he would bring bad luck to his father, mother, and brother.

Chen Zonghao glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to eat?"

"Nothing, just eat. You like sweet food, so you can handle these sweet rice dumplings." Song Shu sat next to him, took a salty rice dumpling and said, "I like salty food, and I was thinking about how to handle these sweet rice dumplings. Well, now you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes." Chen Zonghao nodded, "I'll take care of it."

Song Shu saw that the man finished one of the rice dumplings in her hand, which took four or five bites. Song Shu saw that he ate five or six dumplings in one meal and thought to herself that at the rate he ate, he would be able to finish the remaining rice dumplings in two or three days, so there was no need to worry.

＊

After lunch, Chen Zonghao still drove Song Shu to the driving school, but this time they were not there to practice driving, but to take a test.

After practicing for more than a week, Song Shu finally got the hang of driving. After all, the current driver's license test is quite simple. Song Shu had passed the written test before and went for the on-site test today.

When she arrived at the driving school, there were only four people taking the test with her, including herself, and the other three were men.

Chen Zonghao carried her bag and mineral water and walked over with her.

When the female boss was registering, she glanced at the familiar Song Shu and Chen Zonghao a few more times, and then she saw the man talking to his wife with bags in his hands. The female boss approached and heard the man seemed to be encouraging his wife not to worry, saying that if she didn't do well in the exam this time, she could try again next time.

Then the female boss heard the young woman glare at the man and say, "How can you be like that? I haven't even taken the exam yet, but you're already thinking I won't do well."

Then the female boss saw the man touch his nose and bow his head to apologize to the woman in a low voice, "I said something wrong. I'm not saying you won't do well on the test. I just want you to not be nervous."

The female boss watched secretly from the side and marveled at the love between the young couple. The man picked up and dropped off his wife every day, and he carried her bag for her. The female boss shook her head, she was so jealous.

In the end, Song Shu passed the test on the first try. After getting her driver's license, she looked at Chen Zonghao with some pride, "Look, I passed."

Chen Zonghao raised the corner of his mouth, "Well, you are great."

Song Shu got her driver's license and looked at his car, and she was a little eager to try it out. "Why don't you let me drive back later?"

Chen Zonghao glanced at her, and thinking of the skills she had just demonstrated in the exam, he did not refuse, and handed her the key, "Okay, you drive back." And with him watching, there was nothing to worry about.

Song Shu happily took the key, raised her chin, walked over to open the passenger door for him, and made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Chen, please get in the car."

Chen Zonghao walked over and sat in the passenger seat, looking at her with raised eyebrows, "Thank you for your service, Miss Song."

"Hmph." Song Shu snorted twice and walked around the front of the car to the driver's seat. She opened the door and sat in. Then she inserted the key, started the ignition, and started the car.

After a while, the car started moving and Song Shu took the steering wheel and drove out of the driving school.

And when their female boss noticed that the man was confident in letting his wife who had just obtained a driving license drive the car, she was shocked again. He really didn't care about the car. The car cost more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he was not afraid of scratches. The female boss shook her head in confusion.

＊

On the way back, Song Shu was still a little nervous. After all, she was driving on the road. Although there were not many cars on the road, she was not very familiar with the road conditions in Hong Kong, so her movements seemed a little unfamiliar.

But along the way, Chen Zonghao didn't say a word to teach her how to drive, or rather, he just let her drive freely. His look of complete trust made Song Shu feel relieved, and the tension in her heart disappeared, and she drove more and more skillfully.

In her previous life, she had heard a colleague complain that her boyfriend would always talk to her when she was driving, teaching her how to drive, which made her even more nervous and unable to move freely, and they often quarreled over this.

Song Shu was glad that Chen Zonghao was not that kind of person. She drove the car back in a relaxed mood and even had the mood to look at the scenery along the road.

After driving the car all the way back home and parking it, Song Shu turned around and looked at Chen Zonghao with a smile on her face. "Okay, we've arrived safely. Mr. Chen, please get out of the car."

Chen Zonghao listened to her naughty words, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Thank you, Miss Song, your driving skills are amazing."

Song Shu met his gaze, and for some reason they started smiling at each other, with a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the car.

＊

After completing her driving test, Song Shu had some free time at noon.

It was Saturday and Jiahui didn't have to go to school. Her painting class was in the evening, so she was playing Gobang with Song Shu in the store.

This was something Song Shu bought to relax her mind and pass the time when she was tired of designing clothes. After Song Shu taught Jiahui a few times, the little girl learned it and became addicted to playing Gobang.

Song Shu felt that Gobang could improve her thinking ability and temperament, so she would often play a few games with her when she had time.

After lunch today, I started playing with her in the store. Rong Xiaohua watched from the side and sometimes would also join in to play a few games.

This game was being played by Rong Xiaohua and Jiahui. Song Shu stood aside, picked up the cup and took a sip of scented tea, watching the two of them play chess.

However, Rong Xiaohua still lost this game. After Jiahui placed a chess piece on the chessboard, the five chess pieces formed a line. Rong Xiaohua couldn't help but wail, "Jiahui, you are too smart. I lost again. It's fine that I can't beat Sister Shu, but now I can't even beat Sister Jiahui."

Song Shu laughed when she heard this and shrugged at her, "Jiahui is still very capable." Although she is small, she is smart.

Jiahui looked at Rong Xiaohua, who was crying but not crying, and comforted her, "Sister Xiaohua, don't cry. Let's continue. Jiahui will let you play a chess piece later, okay?"

Song Shu laughed out loud, and Rong Xiaohua collapsed on the sofa, covering her face. "No need, let Sister Jiahui let me go. If others tell others, I will still have face."

While Song Shu and the other two were chatting and laughing, the shop door was pushed open. Before anyone came in, two different voices, shouting the same "Sister Jiahui", came in.

Song Shu saw Mingzai and Baoer rushing in. They ran up to her and politely called out "Sister Shu", then rushed to Jiahui together, "Sister Jiahui, I'm here to see you. I missed you so much."

"Go away, you naughty Xiao Ming. I was the one who hugged sister Jia Hui first." Du Baoer hugged Jia Hui to block Mingzai.

"You just left. I brought you some delicious food, Jiahui." Mingzai glared at Baoer. He was obviously Jiahui's best friend, but this annoying Du Baoer actually wanted to snatch Jiahui from him.

"Humph, Sister Jiahui, I also brought you some delicious food. Here, eat mine."

"Brother Xiaoming, Sister Baoer..."

…

Suddenly, the three children started playing together happily.

At this time, Fang Yun and Feng Zhen pushed the door open and came in, complaining to Song Shu, "These two little rascals ran faster than monkeys as soon as they got out of the car, vying to be the first to see Jiahui."

Song Shu poured them both a cup of scented tea and asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly?"

Fang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Originally, Feng Zhen and I took these two children shopping today. We were going to take them to Ocean Park after shopping, but they both insisted on coming over to find sister Jiahui to go to Ocean Park together."

Feng Zhen nodded in agreement, "The two of them were making so much noise that Ah Yun and I were so annoyed that we couldn't stop them. So they decided to come look for Sister Jia Hui, so we had no choice but to bring these two little bastards with us to her house."

Song Shu shook her head and said, "What's so presumptuous about this? You can come anytime. Besides, Jiahui will be very happy to see her good friend come to see her."

Fang Yun and Feng Zhen shook their heads in amusement as they watched the three noisy children.

At this time, Mingzai and Du Baoer each held one of Jiahui's hands and walked over. They looked up at Song Shu and said, "Sister Shu, can we invite Jiahui to go to Ocean Park with us?"

Afraid that she would disagree, the two children listed the fun things about the Ocean Park, "There are a lot of big fish, glowing corals, and oh, there are cute dolphins... It's so much fun."

Song Shu watched them trying to sell the product, staring at her eagerly with her big eyes, and curled her lips, "Sister Shu, there is no problem with this, but you have to ask Jiahui if she is willing to go. Only if Jiahui wants to go, she can go."

“Yes.”

"Of course we would. We just asked Jiahui and she said she wanted to go." Mingzai and Baoer answered in a hurry.

Jiahui also looked at Song Shu and nodded, "Sister Shu, Jiahui also wants to go to Ocean Park, is that okay?"

Song Shu smiled and looked at the three children. "Of course you can."

"Great." The three children cheered.

Fang Yun beside him seemed to be relieved and said, "It's finally quiet."

Then he said to Song Shu a little embarrassedly: "I don't know if you are busy today. If you are busy, we can just take Jiahui with us."

Song Shu shook her head and said to her comfortingly, "I'm not busy. I just happened to have finished driving lessons recently and have some free time."

Fang Yun's eyes lit up when she heard that she had learned to drive, "Ah Shu, you actually went to learn to drive. Did you get your driver's license?"

Song Shu nodded, "I just got my driver's license yesterday."

Fang Yun was a little envious, "That's great, you and Azhen both have driver's licenses. I also want to learn how to drive, but I'm a little scared when I think about driving on the road."

Although her family has a driver whenever they go out and she doesn't need to drive, she is still envious when she sees her friends driving. There is a big difference between needing a car and being able to drive.

After hearing what she said, Feng Zhen said, "You can go and try to learn how to drive. Don't worry."

Song Shu also said: "Actually, I'm not that scared now that I've learned how to drive."

Fang Yun was a little eager to try it out. "Okay, I'll give it a try."

As they were talking, Du Baoer said, "Mom, are you guys done talking? Let's go to Ocean Park."

"Yes, mom, otherwise it will be closed when the sun goes down." Mingzai also looked at them eagerly. He wanted to take his sister Jiahui to have a good time in Ocean Park.

Fang Yun looked at them helplessly, "Okay, let's go now."

＊

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when Song Shu and her group of six arrived at the Ocean Park. Today happened to be Saturday, and many parents brought their children to play together, so there were quite a few people in the Ocean Park.

The Ocean Park was built in 1977, covering an area of ​​more than 80 hectares. It houses a variety of marine and terrestrial animals. Although it is called the Ocean Park, there are also many land animals. There are also aerobatics and large-scale games. It can be said to be the most popular amusement park in Hong Kong.

Song Shu, Fang Yun and Feng Zhen walked inside, each holding a child, followed by a nanny and bodyguards.

Song Shu didn't find it strange or ostentatious. After all, in this era, many children of wealthy people were kidnapped and extorted for money.

They first went to several theme pavilions to watch the dolphin show. Baoer Du even pulled Jiahui up to touch the dolphins, but Mingzai didn't dare to touch it and was laughed at by Baoer.

Ming Zai retorted angrily, "I'm just afraid of the slippery feeling."

Jiahui patted his hands and comforted him, "Brother Xiaoming, it's okay. Jiahui is also afraid of things, such as snakes."

After listening to this, Du Baoer thought about it and said to Ming Tsai with some embarrassment: "Okay, then I won't say anything to you. I am afraid of snakes too."

"Hahaha, everyone has something they are afraid of." The three children laughed again.

Song Shu, Fang Yun and Feng Zhen looked at their three children and smiled. Feng Zhen said, "Jia Hui is really the mediator between Bao Er and Ming Zai. Otherwise, they would definitely quarrel under normal circumstances."

Fang Yun nodded in agreement. "With Jiahui around, they can't fight. This finally saves me and Azhen a headache. You said Azhen and I have such a good relationship, but how come these two kids have disliked each other since they were young? It's really frustrating."

A few people watched and played along the way, and it was already past six o'clock when the children finally couldn't play anymore.

The three adults, including Song Shu, were a little exhausted, but the three children were still very energetic.

Feng Zhen said, "I really don't know where they get so much energy. We adults are exhausted."

Song Shu squeezed a bottle of mineral water and fed it to Jiahui. She drank a few sips herself and said, "Maybe it's just like when we go shopping all day. We don't feel tired."

Fang Yunfengzhen suddenly realized what was going on. "Don't mention it. It's possible. They don't feel tired when they have something to play."

As they walked out of the Ocean Park, Fang Yun said, "I'll just take Ah Shu and the others back later. Ah Zhen, you don't have to come with us."

Feng Zhen nodded, "Okay, Baoer and I will go back first."

Song Shu heard this and said, "Sister Yun, don't bother you. Just send a car to take Jiahui and me back. You don't have to come along."

Fang Yun waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I can take you back first."

Song Shu was just about to persuade her not to bother, when Jia Hui pointed ahead and said in surprise, "It's my second uncle."

When Song Shu heard her words, she looked forward and saw Chen Zonghao standing under a tree at the entrance of Ocean Park. His eyes were searching the crowd and looking at the people coming out. Maybe he heard Jiahui's voice at this time and looked in their direction. Song Shu met his gaze and saw the man walking towards her, meeting her gaze.

Fang Yun and the others also saw Chen Zonghao and teased Song Shu, "It looks like we don't need to send you off now. Someone is here to pick you up."

Song Shu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and said to them, "Sister Fang Yun, you can go back first. You don't have to see us off."

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Okay, Ah Zhen and I will leave first. Mingzai, say goodbye to Auntie and Sister Jiahui."

"Bye, sister Jiahui."

"Bye, Brother Xiaoming, Sister Baoer."

After Fang Yun and the others left, Chen Zonghao just happened to come over.

Song Shu raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why are you here?"

Chen Zonghao bent down and picked up Jiahui, taking her bag with him, "Xiaohua said you guys came to Ocean Park to play."

Song Shu nodded and asked, "Did you just come here, or have you been waiting at the door for a long time?"

Song Shu thought about how the man's eyes were constantly searching the crowd, obviously looking for them to come out. He was afraid of missing them, and she didn't know how long he had been waiting.

Chen Zonghao coughed and said calmly, "It didn't take long."

Song Shu glanced at him, but couldn't tell anything from his expression, so she could only believe it.

At this time, an old lady came over with a flower basket, stood in front of Song Shu and the other two, looked at Chen Zonghao and said, "Handsome boy, do you want to buy some flowers? I just saw you looking at my flowers for more than an hour."

He smiled and glanced at Song Shu and Jia Hui in his arms, "Just in time, the wife and child you've been waiting for have come out. Do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers for your wife?"

After hearing what the old lady said, Song Shu burst out laughing and looked at Chen Zonghao teasingly. Tsk tsk, this is what this guy meant by not waiting long. Not waiting long, but still looking at other people's flowers for an hour.

Chen Zonghao met her playful look, touched his nose, looked away, and quickly said to the old lady, "Please bring a bouquet of roses."

He was really afraid that this old lady would say something that would make him lose face.

"All right, pretty boy."

Chen Zonghao paid the money, took the bouquet of roses and stuffed it into Song Shu's pocket, then walked quickly forward with Jiahui in his arms. Jiahui leaned on his shoulder, pointed at the flowers and said to Song Shu, "Sister, the flowers are beautiful."

Song Shu looked down at the flowers the man stuffed into her arms. The roses were in full bloom and she could smell their fragrance. Song Shu curled the corners of her mouth and quickened her pace to follow him.

＊

When they walked to the front of the car, the little Jiahui fell asleep along the way. It seemed that she was tired after playing for a whole afternoon. Chen Zonghao put her in the back seat and let her sleep.

Song Shu was about to open the back door and get in, but the man opened the passenger door first and looked at her, "Sit in the front."

Song Shu glanced at him, turned around, and sat in the passenger seat.

The man saw her sitting down and closing the door, then he walked around to the driver's seat and got in, then he took the steering wheel and drove away from Ocean Park.

In the first half of the journey, the man drove while looking at the road conditions. Song Shu touched the petals of the rose from time to time, or looked at the scenery outside the window.

At this time, the man suddenly asked, "Are the roses beautiful?"

Song Shu rolled her eyes and raised her lips, "It looks good. After all, you picked it after observing it for an hour."

“Ahem.”

Song Shu saw that the man had a choked expression after hearing her words, and her mood immediately became good. She complained in her heart, "You little brat, I told you to pretend." But a warm current surged in her heart. This man actually waited for them at the entrance of Ocean Park for more than an hour, and he was not afraid that they would leave early and wait in vain.

Chen Zonghao pointed at the steering wheel, feeling a little uncomfortable. "As long as it looks good." He actually didn't like to tell her what he had paid for. After all, he did these things willingly. He didn't want to threaten her with this and make her feel burdened.

Song Shu looked at the rose in her arms, hugged it tightly with both hands, turned her head and looked at him seriously: "Thank you for the rose, I like it very much."

Chen Zonghao's lips curled up when he heard this, and Song Shu also curled up her lips.

When they arrived home, Chen Zonghao walked in holding Jiahui, and Song Shu got out of the car holding roses and walked in behind them.

Rong Xiaohua ran into them just as she was about to get off work. Looking at the roses in Song Shu's arms, she joked, "Sister Shu, who bought you this flower? No need to guess, it must be Brother Hao, right?"

Song Shu didn't hesitate at all and said frankly, "He gave it to me."

Rong Xiaohua felt a little envious after hearing this. She looked at Song Shu, who was holding the flowers and smiling, and seemed prettier than the flowers, and said, "That's great."

Seeing Sister Shu and Brother Hao getting along so well makes the onlookers feel better as well, as if all the fatigue of the day has dissipated.

After Rong Xiaohua left, Song Shu walked to the back room holding the flowers, looked at the flowers in her arms, found two vases, and put the flowers in each vase, planning to put one in the living room and the other in the bedroom.

At this time, Chen Zonghao walked out of the room and saw the person arranging flowers with his back to him. He walked over, took a look, and picked up the scissors, "I'll help you cut the flowers."

Song Shu did not refuse and taught him to cut off the overly long stems and unnecessary branches of the roses.

One of them trimmed the flowers and handed them to her, while the other took them and put them in the vase. Soon, a bouquet of roses was ready.

Song Shu picked up a vase with flowers in it, looked at him, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Chen Zonghao lowered his head and looked at the woman's smiling face. The flowers reflected her face, making her look even more beautiful than the flowers. "It's beautiful."
